IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: WHEN USING THIS TOOL, BASIC
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
1. For personal safety and proper operation and
maintenance of the tool, read this instruction
manual carefully before using the tool.
2. Always wear safety glasses to protect your
eyes from dust or nail injury. The safety
glasses should conform with the requirements
of ANSI Z87.1.
WARNING:
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of safety eye protection equipment by
the tool operators and by other persons in the
immediate working area.
3. Wear hearing protection to protect your ears
against exhaust noise and head protection.
Also wear light but not loose clothing. Sleeves
should be buttoned or rolled up. No necktie
should be worn.
4. Rushing the job or forcing the tool is
dangerous. Handle the tool carefully. Do not
operate when under the influence of alcohol,
drugs or the like.
5. General Tool Handling Guidelines:
(1) Always assume that the tool contains
fasteners.
(2) Do not point the tool toward yourself or
anyone whether it contains fasteners or
not.
(3) Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is
placed firmly against the workpiece.
(4) Respect the tool as a working implement.
(5) No horseplay.
(6) Do not hold or carry the tool with a finger
on the trigger.
(7) Do not load the tool with fasteners when
any one of the operating controls is
activated.
(8) Do not operate the tool with any power
source other than that specified in the tool
operating/safety instructions.
6. An improperly functioning tool must not be
used.
7. Sparks sometimes fly when the tool is used.
Do not use the tool near volatile, flammable
materials such as gasoline, thinner, paint, gas,
adhesives, etc.; they will ignite and explode,
causing serious injury.
8. The area should be sufficiently illuminated to
assure safe operations. The area should be
clear and litter-free. Be especially careful to
maintain good footing and balance.
9. Only those involved in the work should be in
the vicinity. Children especially must be kept
away at all times.
10.
There may be local regulations concerning
noise which must be complied with by keeping
noise levels within prescribed limits. In certain
cases, shutters should be used to contain
noise.
11.
Do not play with the contact element: it
prevents accidental discharge, so it must be
kept on and not removed. Securing the trigger
in the ON position is also very dangerous.
Never attempt to fasten the trigger. Do not
operate a tool if any portion of the tool
operating controls is inoperable, disconnected,
altered, or not working properly.
12.
Operate the tool within the specified air
pressure on the tool label for safety and longer
tool life. Do not exceed the recommended max.
operating pressure. The tool should not be
connected to a source whose pressure
potentially exceeds 14.0 kgf/cm
2
G (200 PSIG).
3
13.
Never use the tool with other than compressed
air. If bottled gas (carbon dioxide, oxygen,
nitrogen, hydrogen, air, etc.) or combustible
gas (hydrogen, propane, acetylene, etc.) is
used as a power source for this tool, the tool
will explode and cause serious injury.
14. Always check the tool for its overall condition
and loose screws before operation. Tighten as
required.
15. Make sure all safety systems are in working
order before operation. The tool must not
operate if only the trigger is pulled or if only
the contact element is pressed against the
wood. It must work only when both actions are
performed. Test for possible faulty operation
with nails unloaded and the contact element in
fully pulled position.
16.
Check walls, ceilings, floors, roofing and the
like carefully to avoid possible electrical shock,
gas leakage, explosions, etc. caused by
striking live wires, conduits or gas pipes.
17. Use only nails specified in this manual. The
use of any other nails may cause malfunction
of the tool.
18. Do not permit those uninstructed to use the
tool.
19. Make sure no one is nearby before nailing.
Never attempt to nail from both the inside and
outside at the same time. Nails may rip
through and/or fly off, presenting a grave
danger.
20. Watch your footing and maintain your balance
with the tool. Make sure there is no one below
when working in high locations, and secure
the air hose to prevent danger if there is
sudden jerking or catching.
21. On rooftops and other high locations, nail as
you move forward. It is easy to lose your
footing if you nail while inching backward.
When nailing against perpendicular surface,
nail from the top to the bottom. You can
perform nailing operations with less fatigue by
doing so.
22. A nail will be bent or the tool can become
jammed if you mistakenly nail on top of
another nail or strike a knot in the wood. The
nail may be thrown and hit someone, or the
tool itself can react dangerously. Place the
nails with care.
23. Do not leave the loaded tool or the air
compressor under pressure for a long time out
in the sun. Be sure that dust, sand, chips and
foreign matter will not enter the tool in the
place where you leave it setting.
24. Do not point the ejection port at anyone in the
vicinity. Keep hands and feet away from the
ejection port area.
25. When the air hose is connected, do not carry
the tool with your finger on the trigger or hand
it to someone in this condition. Accidental
firing can be extremely dangerous.
26. Handle the tool carefully, as there is high
pressure inside the tool that can be dangerous
if a crack is caused by rough handling
(dropping or striking). Do not attempt to carve
or engrave on the tool.
27. Stop nailing operations immediately if you
notice something wrong or out of the ordinary
with the tool.
28. Always disconnect the air hose and remove all
of the nails:
(9) When unattended.
(10) Before performing any maintenance or
repair.
(11) Before cleaning a jam.
(12) Before moving the tool to a new location.
29. Perform cleaning and maintenance right after
finishing the job. Keep the tool in tip-top
condition. Lubricate moving parts to prevent
rusting and minimize friction-related wear.
Wipe off all dust from the parts.
30. Do not modify tool without authorization from
Makita.
31. Do not attempt to keep the trigger or contact
element depressed with tape or wire. Death or
serious injury may occur.
32. Always check contact element as instructed in
this manual. Nails may be driven accidentally
if the safety mechanism is not working
correctly.
33. Ask Makita's Authorized service centers for
periodical inspection of the tool.
34. To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
maintenance and repairs should be performed
by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement
parts.

The air compressor must comply with the requirements
of ANSI B19.3.
Select a compressor that has ample pressure and air
output to assure cost-efficient operation. The graph
shows the relation between nailing frequency, applicable
pressure and compressor air output.
Thus, for example, if nailing takes place at a rate of
approximately 37 times per minute at a compression of
7.0 kgf/cm
2
G (100 PSIG), a compressor with an air
output over 2 ft
3
/minute is required.
Pressure regulators must be used to limit air pressure to
the rated pressure of the tool where air supply pressure
exceeds the tool's rated pressure. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury to tool operator or persons in the
vicinity.
Selecting air hose
004294
Use an air hose as large and as short as possible to
assure continuous, efficient nailing operation. With an air
pressure of 5.0 kgf/cm
2
G (70 PSIG), an air hose with an
internal diameter of over 6.5 mm (1/4") and a length of
less than 20 m (6.6 ft.) is recommended when the
interval between each nailing is 0.5 seconds. Air supply
hoses shall have a minimum working pressure rating of
10.7 kgf/cm
2
G (150 PSIG) or 150 percent of the
maximum pressure produced in the system whichever is
higher.
CAUTION:
Low air output of the compressor, or a long or
smaller diameter air hose in relation to the nailing
frequency may cause a decrease in the driving
capability of the tool.
Lubrication
004295
To insure maximum performance, install an air set (oiler,
regulator, air filter) as close as possible to the tool.
Adjust the oiler so that one drop of oil will be provided for
every 30 nails.
When an air set is not used, oil the tool with pneumatic
tool oil by placing 2 (two) or 3 (three) drops into the air
fitting. This should be done before and after use. For
proper lubrication, the tool must be fired a couple of
times after pneumatic tool oil is introduced.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the air hose before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Adjusting depth of nailing
1
A
B
008390
To adjust the depth of nailing, turn the adjuster. The
depth of nailing is the deepest when the adjuster is
turned fully in the A direction shown in the figure. It will
become shallower as the adjuster is turned in the B
direction. If nails cannot be driven deep enough even
when the adjuster is turned fully in the A direction,
increase the air pressure. If nails are driven too deep
even when the adjuster is turned fully in the B direction,
decrease the air pressure. Generally speaking, the tool
service life will be longer when the tool is used with
lower air pressure and the adjuster set to a lower depth
of nail driving.
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the hose before adjusting the
depth of nailing.
Hook
1
008405
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the hose from the tool.
Never hook the tool at high location or on
potentially unstable surface.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the air hose from the tool before
attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
Cleaning and removal of tat and dirt
Adhesion of tar and dirt to areas around the contact
element will prevent smooth movement of the contact
element (safety mechanism), causing accidental
discharge. Periodically clean the areas around the
contact element.
Use a solvent such as kerosene, #2 fuel oil or diesel fuel.
Immerse only the contact element and the areas around
the ejection port in solvent and remove tar and dirt with
brush. Always wear waterproof gloves to protect your
hands. Never immerse the housing, magazine, etc. in
solvent. Malfunction of the tool may result. Always
dispose of the solvent used in a safe and prudent
manner and in compliance with all local and national
code requirement.

Dry off the tool before use. Any oil film left after cleanup
will accelerate the tar buildup, and the tool will require
more frequent recleaning. After drying off the tool, oil the
moving parts to prevent rusting and to assure good
lubrication and operation or moving parts.
WARNING:
Never use gasoline or other similar highly volatile
liquids for cleaning. Vapors of such liquids may
enter the tool and could be ignited by sparks
produced during nailing and cause an explosion.
Maintenance of nailer
Always check the tool for its overall condition and loose
screws before operation. Tighten as required.
008402
With tool disconnected, make daily inspection to assure
free movement of the contact element and trigger. Do
not use tool if the contact element or trigger sticks or
binds.
